Well, we’ve completed another fun and interesting club year – with great speakers, good programs, supported our community through work at Rock Spring Park, Ball-Sellers House, our senior outreach at Mary Marshall Home, our pre-school program at Glebe Elementary, our Junior Gardener program at Tuckahoe, our floral outreach to members,  fun field trips, plus plant sales, pumpkin design fundraisers, and successful flower show. Most of all, we grew our membership, made new friends, gardened together, and worked together.  Our club is very blessed and fortunate.

We will resume our meetings on Thursday, September 19, 2024.  If you’re looking for a garden club to join, feel free to reach out to us anytime- just email us at [email protected]

We are happy to have you enjoy our December issue of The Gardenzette. Click here –>Gardenzette December 2023 for web pdf

We have many things to be thankful for as we end 2023.  Two weeks ago, despite the weather, Rock Spring Garden Club members held our Floral Design sale just in time to deck homes for Thanksgiving.  We cannot thank enough all the club members who helped us in multiple capacities, and our customers who came out in the rain and bought a design or two.  The funds raised go directly to our community outreach programs that include youth garden therapy programs, junior gardeners, 4-H summer camp scholarships and senior outreach.

Our December meeting is a members-only Holiday tea.  And you could join us next year if you consider becoming a member of Rock Spring Garden Club.  We are an active community organization that aligns with National Garden Clubs Inc. and our club is an active part of National Capital Area Garden Clubs, Inc. District III AND Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc. Piedmont District.  Membership affords us access to four NGC Schools with certification, symposiums, garden conferences, tours, field trips, flower shows, and continuous educational opportunities that focus on horticulture, landscape, environmental concerns and floral design.  If you have a sincere interest in any of these topics, Rock Spring Garden Club might be the organization for you.  Feel free to explore our website and contact us via email [email protected]

On behalf of all our members, we wish you happy holidays and best wishes for 2024!
